The tractor-trolley getting stuck at the crossing forced railway authorities to stop train movement. As soon as information about the heavy vehicle obstructing the railway track was received, railway officials and employees began immediate action as a safety measure.
A team reached the spot and used a JCB to remove the tractor-trolley from the railway track. Once the vehicle was cleared, the railway track was inspected. After the track was found safe, rail traffic, which had remained disrupted for around an hour, was resumed.
During the disruption, trains had to be stopped and their speeds controlled, causing inconvenience to passengers. Road traffic around Bharwara railway crossing was also affected by the incident, with commuters facing difficulties for a considerable period.
The incident of a heavy vehicle becoming stuck at the railway crossing has also raised questions over safety arrangements. Had the tractor-trolley not been removed in time, the possibility of a serious accident could not have been ruled out. The movement of heavy vehicles through railway crossings and their monitoring also require stricter attention.
Following the removal of the tractor-trolley, rail traffic returned to normal. Information is being gathered to determine the cause of the incident.
